I was at my DEAR friend Julia's house (HEY GUUURL!) the other day and the girl just randomly baked a torte. Who does that? Julia does, and I love her for it. Here is what she served us for dessert that she just, "Made up, out of my brain!"
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 c. unsalted butter - chilled and diced
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 jar of Nutella (25oz)
- 1 c. hazelnuts
How To Cook It
Crust
- sift the flour and salt into a large bowl
- add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles bread crumbs
- add egg yolk and a little cold water (about 2-3 tablespoon) and mix with blade of a palette knife until the dough just starts to come together
- bring dough together with your hands and shape into a ball
- wrap in plastic and put in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes
- divide into two, roll out both doughs into a circle on a lightly floured surface and use the larger to line a tart tin, set aside the second for use later
- slide onto a baking tray and rest in the fridge for 10 minutes
Filling
- chop hazelnuts and mix them in a bowl with entire jar of Nutella
Torte
- first, remove the first crust from the fridge and bake for ten minutes at 350 degrees
- remove from oven and add filling and top layer of crust, let this "rest" in the frige for 15 minutes before moving on to the next step
- bake for another ten minutes at 350 degrees
- place in fridge to set
